Sunset.

In front of the Marquis Mansion, the carriage stopped.

Li Ziye brought Nan'er back.

A boy immediately came forward and whispered a few words.

Hearing this, Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said, "I understand, let's go down."

"yes!"

The boy took the order, turned around and left.

Li Ziye continued to send Nan'er back to the backyard and said softly, "Nan'er, I will leave for the north tomorrow. Can I leave the matter of sending you to Taixue Palace to your sister Yu?"

"good."

Hearing this, Nan'er nodded obediently and responded.

"So good."

Li Ziye smiled and praised.

While the two were talking, they went back to the backyard together. After Li Ziye arranged Nan'er's affairs for Yu Qingxuan, he went back to his room and started preparing for the peace talks north.

At night.

The bright moon was rising in the east, and in the dead of night, Li Ziye turned off the lights and left his room.

Li Garden, inner courtyard.

The night is slightly cool.

In front of the room, Li Ziye appeared and pushed the door open.

"Brother."

In the room, Huanzhu saw the person coming, immediately stood up and called softly.

"Starting tomorrow, you and I will swap identities."

Li Ziye walked to the table and sat down, and said, "You can't handle that woman Tantai Jingyue."

"yes."

Huanzhu responded, stepped forward, poured a cup of tea, and said, "Brother, I'm not very familiar with Buyi Hou's character, and I'm worried that something might go wrong."

"Just talk less. As for personality, four words: shrewd and self-interested."

Li Ziye said calmly, "When the time comes, adapt to circumstances and don't need to be too restrained. Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion. Fortunately, you basically know what I have done these days. There shouldn't be much problem in dealing with it."

"I remember." Huanzhu nodded.

"On your way north, the person you have the most contact with is the eldest prince. Although Mu Yuan has a palace, he has no great wisdom. The Buyi Marquis took refuge with him in order to be a minister of the dragon. After all, it is better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake."

Li Ziye took a sip of tea and continued, "When you face him, you should be more respectful. That's enough. He is in a state of decline now. The Buyi Marquis is his greatest support. Your loyalty is the best way to deceive him."

Way."

"Brother reminded me, I took note of it."

Huanzhu responded, hesitated, and asked, "Brother, what if I meet Tantai Jingyue alone?"

"Find a way to escape immediately."

Li Ziye's eyes narrowed and he said, "I really can't get away, so I'll try my best to delay it until I get there."

"good."

Huanzhu nodded and kept all his brother's words in his heart.

"Xiao Ziye."

While the two were talking, Hongzhu came from outside the room carrying a plate of fresh fruit, entered the room, and said, "King Jiuyou is back, do you know about this?"

"I heard about it."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "King Jiuyou waited outside the palace all night before entering the palace. Apparently, the entire Blackwater army was wiped out. Emperor Shang was very dissatisfied with him. Why, why did he suddenly mention this matter? A fallen King of Wu,

It should be out of the sight of Sister Hongzhu."

"Didn't he once send troops to intercept and kill you? So, I have a new idea."

Hongzhu sat down aside and said, "Not to mention him, the reason why I mentioned this Nine Nether King is because when this person entered the palace, Emperor Shang deliberately sent him back. This move is really a bit strange."

"oh?"

Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Li Ziye's eyes, and he said, "There is usually a secret order to expel the left and right, but what value does a fallen King of Wu have?"

"have no idea."

Hongzhu shook his head and said, "I felt something was wrong, so I reported this to you. It's up to you to figure out how to deal with it."

"Send someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of King Jiuyou."

Li Ziye said calmly, "The only person who can threaten the safety of the Li family is the old fox Shang Huang. We must be more careful about his actions and be more vigilant. It's not too much."

"good."

Hongzhu nodded, responded, seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Xiao Ziye, when are you going to send the fourth prince back to the palace?"

"No rush, just wait."

Li Ziye took a fresh fruit from Hongzhu's fruit plate and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "Isn't he injured? Let's take care of him slowly."

"What are you waiting for?" Hongzhu asked confused.

"Wait until the eldest prince recovers a little more energy."

Li Ziye responded casually, "Mu Yuan was defeated in Baidi City. Before that, he was in a mess because of his fight with the third prince. If Mu Bai comes back at this time, who among the civil and military officials in the court will take another look at him?

.”

"You really want to assist the eldest prince in ascending to the throne?" Hongzhu said in surprise.

"Of course not."

Li Ziye shook his head and said, "However, if you want to find out the details of Emperor Shang, this person will be of great use."

"Do you want them to kill each other?" Hongzhu asked with a strange look on his face.

"Cannibalism? That's too much of a reward. Mu Yuan is not qualified."

Li Ziye smiled and replied, "That old fox from Emperor Shang is not something Mu Yuan can deal with. I just want to use my identity as Prince Mu Yuan to see how many shady things are hidden in that palace."

"I don't understand, forget it, this is your job, I can't understand it either."

Hong Zhu ate the fresh fruit on the plate quickly while saying, "Do you have anything else to explain to me when you go north this time?"

"have."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "I want to meet Prince Wen. Send someone to keep an eye on his whereabouts and arrange a chance encounter if you have the chance."

When Hongzhu and Huanzhu heard this, they looked at each other and quickly withdrew their gaze at the same time.

"Brother, Sister Hongzhu and I have already met Prince Wen."

Huanzhu's face turned red and he said, "This is exactly why I asked my brother to come here today."

"Have you met Prince Wen?"

Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "When?"

"Just when my brother was leading troops in Mobei."

Huanzhu answered truthfully, "It was Prince Wen who came to visit on his own initiative."

"Tell me carefully."

Li Ziye suppressed the turmoil in his heart, took another sip of tea, and said.

"This is what happened..."

Huanzhu told the story of Prince Wen and Mu Jin's two visits, detailing everything and not missing anything.

"interesting."

Li Ziye heard the words of repaying the pearl, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and he said, "In this case, it is even more important to see him. It's a pity, he has to go north tomorrow, otherwise, he could have seen him earlier."

I haven't met such an interesting person in a long time.

Prince Wen of Dashang, why didn't you notice before that Dashang still has such a leading figure?

Wolong in the shallows, he was actually willing to do it.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I should have told you about this earlier." Huanzhu replied with an apology on his face.

"It's okay, nothing happened."

Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand and said, "It's not too late to meet again after the peace talks come back."

"Xiao Ziye, Prince Wen's condition is to borrow your life." Hongzhu said solemnly.

"Then it depends on his sincerity."
